Commit messages
Mashup Garage prescribes the standard Git commit message format, with a minor modification.
• Separate subject from body with a blank line • Limit the subject line to 50 characters • Capitalize the subject line • Do not end the subject line with a period • Use the 3rd-person singular verb in the subject line (eg, Adds, Fixes) • Wrap the body at 72 characters • Use the body to explain what and why vs. how Instead of imperatives (add, fix, change), Mashup Garage uses 3rd-person singular verbs (adds, fixes, changes).
